Ruth 4. Anoj Joseph finishes our Redeemer series by looking at Ruth's cloaing chapter. The story pivots to Boaz and an unknown man - both of whom qualify to redeem Ruth (and by Jewish custom, are really obliged to act). While the unknown man backs out, Boaz faithfully assumes the role of redeemer. The wonderful truth is that through Ruth and Boaz, we are not only led to David but to the ultimate Redeemer of all of us - Jesus Christ himself.

Ruth 3. Ps Hilary Williams continues our Redeemer series looking at this dramatic moment between Ruth and Boaz. While much is implied or ambigious, these two act in faithfulness and integrity througout. In Ruth's faithful example throughout the story, we should be encouraged to act with integrity and kindness, and to trust God where he leads us.

John 15:4. On Volunteer Thank You Sunday, Dharsh Williams shares an encouraging thought about remaining in the vine. In this familiar passage we are reminded that all life and fruitfulness comes from abiding in Christ. Though we might rightly use gifts and talents, we are reminded that to serve God, we must do so from a place of fellowship with Him first.

Ruth 2. Ps Christian Kahnt continues our series in Ruth looking at God’s grace. Ruth and Naomi go from despair to hope as they encounter Boaz. We must recognise that just as Boaz was kind, so too God's kindness does not depend on us. However, in Ruth we have an example of how we might position ourselves to be in God's perfect purpose and favour.

Ruth 1. Ps Hilary Williams kicks off a brand new series on the book of Ruth. This short book is a story of love, harvest and ultimately - redemption. The book begins with the focus on Naomi, who is destitute and would appear to be walking away from God. However in spite of her pain, her actions suggest not only a deeper personal faith, but a faith that perhaps led Ruth to want to know this God.

Revelation 5. Josh Lau shares a timely reminder of Christ's ultimate victory. We suffer, we struggle with sin, we wonder when God will make all things right. This passage reminds us there is one who holds the future, and will share with us the victory over suffering and sin. Answers may not come when we want, but we must always take the time to behold and worship the One who holds the answers.

On his return from sabbatical, Ps Hilary Williams shares a report from his time away. Among other things, one key lesson Hilary was reminded of, was that when we find our joy in God, we move from past regrets to gratitude, and from anxiety to a future of hope. We pray that God's grace and healing serves as an encouragement to us all.

1 Corinthians 15:5. Ps Chrisitian Kanht shares a timely word about the gospel of grace. We mistakenly believe the gospel os the gateway to Christ, rather than the life path it truly is for our Christianity. The gospel is a precious diamond we must continually return to. Furthermore we cannot assume the gospel - neither for ourselves, nor for those with whom we are compelled to share this life-giving message.

Romans 1:21-23. Ps Christian Kanht gives us a short word on thanksgiving. Because of sin we are born thankless - this can quickly steer us into idolatry. The greatest enjoyment we can get is to delight and thank God for who He is and all He has done. Let us continue to be grateful, and that our gratitude would be through the gift of Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:7-11. Andrew Mihaleff concludes our Gifts of The Spirit series looking at the gifts of power - faith, healings and miracles. It would appear that all of these begin with receiving a gift of faith in God's ability to change situations by His power - sometimes He will act for us, other times through us. We are reminded that these gifts are for our encouragement and for God's glory.
